Chapter 319 The truth is revealed

Some people also feel strange because poultry are living things and can only be sold nearby and cannot be transported far away.

Moreover, once poultry dies in the summer, they will quickly become smelly, and no one wants to spend money to buy dead things.

Some people were curious and asked.

Bai Chunsheng at the side said leisurely: "Haven't you ever eaten the duck and chicken in our snack shop?"

"Eat it!"

"My family bought several kilograms during the Chinese New Year."

"Yes, yes, my family also bought three duck gift packs."

Food in ancient times was simple, and it can even be said that there were only a few things that people found delicious. For ordinary people, as long as they could eat their fill and eat meat, that was delicious.

Snacks are usually pastries or candied fruits, so when Baijiabao Snack House opened, people were curious at first, and then they were conquered by the variety of delicious snacks.

It doesn’t matter if they don’t have money. People in the upper and lower villages all have money, so they are naturally willing to buy some snacks.

Zhou Yang has a large family, and he spent more than three taels of silver just on buying ducks during the New Year.

Bai Chunsheng smiled and said, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

"good to eat!"

Bai Youfu, who was standing aside, continued, "So, where do you think the raw materials for these ducks and chickens come from?"

When he said this, the people in the upper and lower villages reacted instantly.

I was wondering before where so many duck necks, duck feet, duck gizzards and duck wings came from, but now the truth is clear.

"Well, now that you understand, when the weather gets warmer in a few days, you can come and get the chickens and ducks."

Bai Youfu then added: "Don't worry, I have very professional breeding experience and techniques. As long as you follow my instructions, the market rate will be guaranteed to be over 70% to 80%."

Let me say, when you are out there, you create your own personality, and when Bai Youfu praised himself, he didn't feel guilty at all.

Although he had not had much exposure to this area before, he had carefully consulted with the aunts and grandmas in the village who used to raise chickens and ducks well, and combined with what he learned from the videos, he thought it should not be a big problem.

No, Bai Youfu thought of the village chief's instructions, and his eyes became extremely determined. He would not let his aunt down.

There are only a limited number of people in Taohua Village, and many things cannot be accessed by outsiders. It can be said that one villager does the work of three people, and they are all very busy.

If Bai Tao had not strengthened the villagers' bodies before and given them some magical medicine and water from time to time, they probably would not have been able to deal with so many things.

The upper village reported 5,000 chickens and 6,000 ducks, while the lower village reported fewer, at 4,000 and 5,500 respectively.

For the first attempt, people in the two villages did not dare to raise too many. After all, chicks and ducklings are not easy to raise, and they require a lot of food when they grow bigger.

This is because of the guarantee from Taohua Village. Otherwise, every household would be lucky to raise only 10 to 20 of them.

Knowing that they could buy piglets and calves, almost every household in the two villages bought two or three pigs, thinking of raising them for a year and slaughtering them on Laba Festival for the New Year.

Some families with large families will raise one or two cows.

If there are many children in the family, you can ask the children to cut two or three baskets of grass for the pigs, which is enough for one meal. As for the cows, you can take them out to graze for a morning, and then cut some grass for the cows, which will provide them with food for the day.

Crops were planted in the fields, and chickens, ducks, pigs, and cows were slowly raised. Some people in the family also worked in the Baijiabao caravan shop.

After the crops are harvested, the chickens and ducks are sold to Taohua Village. The family's income can at least be around ten or eight taels, so it's hard to imagine a bad life.

These days, people from the upper and lower villages always have smiles on their faces, and even if something happens, they rarely quarrel.

There is a lot of work to do at home, so there is no time to waste.

In Bai Tao's words, once people are busy, especially when they are busy working for a better life, they have no time to cause trouble.

Bai Tao did not buy the chicks and ducklings directly from the mall, but bought fertilized eggs and incubated them in an incubator.

So, Bai Youfu started running to the incubator several times a day, spraying some water on the chicken and duck eggs in the incubator from time to time. In people's impression, chicks and ducklings are hatched by hens and ducks, so when Bai Tao asked Bai Youfu to lead people to install the incubator, the villagers were also surprised for a while.

"Auntie, can the chicks and ducklings also be produced mechanically?"

Bai Tao corrected in a baby voice: "It is mechanized incubation."

"When technology develops to a certain level, these are no longer problems. Incubators can simulate the appropriate temperature and hatch chicks and ducklings better and faster."

Bai Tao didn't need to say much, the hatchery was installed quickly, but everyone was also very curious about the chicks and ducklings hatched by the incubator.

Bai Youfu is in charge of this area and is full of expectations.

So, when the first chick hatched, Bai Youfu was as happy as when his wife gave birth to a child.

"It's born, it's born..."

"The chicks are born."

He shouted as he rushed out of the incubation room.

It also attracted some villagers.

"Really?"

"How many are there?"

"What color is it?"

Everyone spoke one after another.

Bai Youfu was stunned for a moment: "I, I just saw its head sticking out, I didn't even take a close look at its color."

Having said that, he immediately turned back to the incubation room.

More than ten minutes later, Bai Youfu carefully moved the more than one hundred hatched chicks to the greenhouse next to the hatchery.

The newly born chicks are still adapting to the outside temperature. Although it is spring, the weather is still a bit cold, so they have to be kept in a greenhouse for a few days.

Moreover, most of the chicks could not stand steadily when they just hatched, and they trembled and staggered from side to side. But looking at this group of furry little guys, Bai Youfu and others couldn't help but grin.

"I'll go tell my aunt."

After saying that, the woman who managed the breeding area with Bai Youfu turned around and ran towards Bai Tao's house.

Bai Youfu smiled, but his smile soon stopped when he thought of something, and he quickly got up and went to the hatchery next door.

Not long after, Bai Tao came over.

She was wearing a goose yellow dress today with a rabbit fur collar, looking cute and adorable.

"Auntie~"

"Well, how many have hatched?"

"To answer my question, the first batch came out with 173, and another batch just came out. I haven't had time to count them yet, but I estimate there are about 300 of them now."

Bai Youfu said, subconsciously looking at the hatchery next door, and said with some concern: "Auntie, all that came out were chicks, but there was no movement over there with the duck eggs."

He just checked again and there was not a single duck egg sticking out.

"It's not surprising. Ducks take a few days longer than chickens."

"Yeah." Bai Youfu nodded obediently.

He actually knew that although he was happy to see the chicks hatch, he was also worried about the situation of the duck eggs.

There is one more chapter, but it will be later.
